Man, those kids in Long Island really like heaving things onto the highway. Before Thanksgiving, a group of teens sent a woman to the hospital after throwing a turkey and now another group of teens is charged with throwing a wooden reindeer at a bus. Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured in the latest incident of suburban boredom. The reindeer struck a bus and broke glass above the windshield, sending glass into the bus driver's eyes. Thomas Barrella, 16, and two minors, 15 and 12, were arrested following the incident. Barrella was charged with second-degree assault and third-degree criminal mischief, while the minors were charged with third-degree criminal mischief.
What's the next holiday themed object they will throw? Easter bunnies, people wearing 2005 glasses, groundhogs, leprechauns? Kids these days...
